Hi,
Just a small tips to get the last google maps on HTC HD2.
I'm using official HTC HD2 rom (1.66.406.1) but I think that should work on all versions.
Cleaning part :
Remove \Program File\GoogleMaps folder
remove \Application Data\GoogleMaps folder too
Install part :
get the "last" google maps there : google.com/gmm/GoogleMaps.CAB (or there google.com/mobile/maps/ )
Or get the v4.1 with voice support in MykeChester post (thanks to him) there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6274597&postcount=37
then install it on main memory of course (otherwise some apps won't be able to find GMaps anymore like compass, footprints,etc)
and voila.
You have the last google maps on your HD2 and saved a little space by cleaning.

Thanks J6B, Maps 4 is a big improvement!
Tried to download it to my Tmobile UK 1.72 ROM phone and was told it wouldn`t work on my HD2. So downloaded the CAB to my PC bluetoothed it across and installed it anyway and it works perfectly. Don`t know what Google are on about.
Works like a charm. Thank you bro!
Works fine on my HTC HD2
when i tried to install it using opera it didn't like it very much so i used win exp and now it is downloading.
which is the latest version? 4.1?
Wow - just followed the instructions and installed it on latest (8th July) NRG Maxsense ROM and its much better than the original Google Maps App.
Don't understand this thread. I have 4.1 on my phone, but when I go to m.google.com/maps it offers me 4.0.0.
Are you saying there's a new version available if you clear your device?
google maps is n1
but I want google maps navigate 4 WM
thats nicer!
for some reason, on Opera, google detect the phone as M850, so it didn't work. but it work fine with IE.
I also have 4.1.0 installed on my ROM. Is this a downgrade?
Hi!
i've been doing this for a while now and Google Maps has been working well.
unfortunately i came across that this method of saving space also breaks the Digital Compass' "choose destination" function (to indicate the heading and distance of your destination)
has anyone found out how to preserve this?
Hi,
@Kev007 : I just tested it again on my phone and everything working fine (dot on the compass and distance left is displayed)
Could you give us more info on your setup : rom used, etc, ...
Tried clearing both folders and reinstalling. Still 4.0 gets installed. I'm on stock rom... pls help..

Hi all
If you are like me and flashed few new ROMs with new MANILA then you have experienced bug which is removed "Set Destination" button in Digital Compass APP.there is Dutty's CAB out there to fix this but when i installed it it was still searching for GPS even though no destination was set.so i have made a cab which works just fine.just like we know it from stock ROMs.
Install:
Disable MANILA
Install CAB
Soft Reset
Enjoy
NOTE:
If you are not experiencing any trouble with Dutty's CAB there is no need to upgrade.
Link:
Because i was unable to upload it here to XDA i had to put in on Rapidshare.

Okay...I didn't disable Sense. I installed the fix but it seems to work fine. Is there something I should be concerned about?
jiggahj said:

No...you just go into Settings, click Menu at the bottom, choose All Settings, click on the Today icon, choose Items at the bottom and uncheck HTC Sense. You need to check Windows Default, though. Or it will reset back to Sense, I believe.
Fix also works in ROM 3.14 NLD
Many thanks! This cab also works for me after installing stock ROM3.14 NLD.
2. download
Hey m8,
is there a mirror download available ?
The first Link is always busy
Thanks
Golf
10 minutes later! It works now!!!
Thanks ;-)
congusto and Golf_4711, did you check Google Map compass feature after installation? Is it work for you?
Thanks for sharing this cab.
I have the Digital Compass on my T-Mobile Leo but I don't have the Distination botton. I tried installing your cab and has the same problem. When installing Dutty Digital Compass, I have the destination function but it works only if Google Maps is installed on Internal Memory. It does not work if it is installed on Storage Card.
Appreciate if you can fix that.
Is it possible to make the map in the compass (google earth) showed the view from satellite? I didn`t find that function.
It is quite strange to me that HTC HD2 manual describes the features which are ABSENT in the phone with the OFFICIAL ROM. Such as "Destination" button in the DigitalCompass application in the newest 3.14.xxx.x ROM.
Why not to describe in the manual that phone can fly ? or has 3D video output ?
PS: I tried old *.cabs described here to fix the compass navigation function and found that none of them works without problem with new Manila 2.5.2018xxx installed at 3.14.xxx.x official ROM
This is the same cab as mentioned in post #1 to get the Set Destination button back after installing ROM314.
Couldn't attach it to my previous post (that was a Quick Reply), so I made this one, instead.
does this .cab works on hd mini?

Probably not, cuz it is a different resolution.
If your country has official Google nav support, this isn't for you.
Hey guys,
I've modified Brut.all's Maps to better suit my taste and with Brut.all's permission I'd like to share the *.apk with you.
What's changed:
All icons with "BRUT" watermark reverted to stock
The [brut] suffix removed from the application name
Package name reverted back to com.google.android.apps.maps, so everything works correctly, including Car Panel and Chrometophone.
Bonus:
Zipaligned
Map caching enabled by default

DOWNLOAD & INSTALLATION:
1) Always do a nandroid backup.

KNOWN ISSUES:
Some users are reporting that they don't see Maps, Navigation, etc. in the app drawer after they install the update.zip.
If you are experiencing this issue, read post #80, it contains an explanation and a fix as well. It may be a bit drastic, but it's the price you have to pay if you want to use this mod.
Enjoy
Special thanks to Brut.all for his work and friendly approach & to ivarson_swe for the help with package name reversion, and for the tip with enabling the map caching feature by default.

Works great! thanks for the Mod squrl! the only thing not working is voice search though
Tanks!

Great work, but i wonder is that possible to change package name to "com.google.android.apps.maps" instead of "brut.googlemaps" ???
reason to change: brut.googlemaps doesn't work in chrometophone

chrometophone asks what application you want to use when you send it something from google maps to your phone.
So no problem here.
Maybe you selected to allways use the normal google maps?

may i know which version of chrometophone and brut you using?
I'm trying to apply the zip via open recovery but it fails "E:Could not find the update-binary." anyone knows how to avoid this? Thanks!
Which recovery are you using? The stock? I recommend clockworkmod recovery by Koush, you can either flash it permanently to your Desire using unrEVOked, or use it with the fake-flash method.
Brut has a new version 4.4, brut15 out. Can you, by any chance, modify it for the Car Panel again?
I'm a bit busy ATM, but have that planned fot tomorrow

Hi,

i have rooted Desire with AuraxTsense rom ... g mail is "locked" to the rom so i can't uninstall it or update...
is possible to have a renamed .apk (just like for googl maps "brut modded") so i can install both and then use the updated one? or where i can found it? tnx
I have this on my Vibrant but it still doesn't have the priority inbox feature.
I managed to find the apk on one of the Samsung forums shortly after its announcement - using a MIUI build on my HD2, and it didn't like pasting the new Gmail over the old one in /system/app/, nor removing the old one and pasting the new one - it was still showing the previous version without the priority inbox and so forth. To fix this, I had to restore the original Gmail apk that I'd backed up, then clear data from the settings/applications menu, then paste the new apk, then install over it from the market.
Native Android users will need to be rooted to do this, if it wasn't obvious.

You should be able to remove the original with Titanium Backup, then you should be good to go.
You people do know that this is available from the Market, and will update the version in your phone's /system folder just fine.
Right?

Apparently they don't... I updated it yesterday here from the market, although I don't use the GMail app at all...
The update is not yet available to everyone. TBH I cannot see most of the Google apps in the market myself.
This is just an opportunity for those less fortunate to mess around with it.

Hi,
I'm currently using nk111's CM10 build, but the GApps are not working. I flashed this package: gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
After the first boot gmail was on my phone. I don't know if maps etc was on it too. But after some time I could not find gmail anymore.
Has anyone a suggestion for me?
Well the last time I checked there was no Gmail in the latest gapps package. Neither Maps. But you can download both from Google Play, so actually you do not have a problem
Sent from CM10
Ok that explains it But I can't find gmail in the play store. I live in Germany, maybe it's not available here?

I find the gmail app, if I browse the play store with my pc.
I think it's because of some license issues and google did not fix it.
Anyway now I have got my gmail back. Thanks guys

I think Gmail is named as Google Mail in Germany because of those license issues.
Yes, but I'm not able to install it nevertheless. I also can't find it using the Play Store app, but only with my pc browser.
I installed it using MarketEnabler.
try this... gapps will work...
dear guys...
after installation of cyanogen mod ROM,
install the small size of gapps file...
it will work for you....
thank you very much...
Hi, I've installed the custom ROM Reaper and I'm very grateful to his author lowled (thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433816). I post here because I don't have permission to post in this developer thread and because my problem could happen with other custom roms.
The problem is that when I try to install some applications from Google Play it says that my device it's not compatible, when I know that they are very compatible. I think that the application installation of these applications in Google Play doesn't recognize Reaper rom as a SO version allowed. I've done some research with google but I haven't found a trusful solution. I think maybe I should edit a system file but I don't want to make a mesh.
I've been downloading, from several websites, apks from problematic applications when I can find them, but I'm tired of this,
So I'd like you to help me to make Google Play install does applications I know that are compatible with my reaper ROM. Thanks in advance
I had been using CM7.2 stable which is GB 2.3.7 as well and there were a couple of times google play said certain apps were not compatible with my device when I knew that they had no problem running on DS.
one of those was Angry Birds Star Wars and I even wrote to Rovio. and their reply was along the line of : it was due to the size of the installation file and the cache space available on the device.
I later upgraded to JB and had no problem installing all these apps in google play that once gave me headache.
u could use market unlocker
Thanks

I am using reaper v3.0 and i haven't got a single problem... you need to let the market update at the latest version and reboot you're phone!
